Scan folder for torrent files

Good day,

I have a network setup in such fashion, that one computer is set up as a file server, that all other computers in network can access as a network drive. This computer is running, among other services, a torrent client. Other computers are setup to automatically save .torrent files into designated folder on the network drive (say Z:/torrent).

Now until recently, I have used a linux box with rTorrent client and all was well, but it died couple months ago, and with computer circulation in household I came to an unused notebook with Windows 7 in it. Now the idea for the notebook is, to connect it to a TV to serve as a media center, and, if needed, a tertiary computer for office work and similar, so changing platform to Linux is mostly out of question.

I have been using several other clients on Windows before, but most any I tried was freezing on 7, so I was very glad to find out about BitComet. Works great, including scheduling and other useful things, but I can not find if there is a setting for scanning a specific folder for .torrent files. Is this possible? I searched the forum and the web, but all I found was an old thread referencing some long-lost windows script, and directing the poster to Feature Request forums.

Has this feature been implemented yet, or has the script surfaced in the meantime? I am otherwise very happy with BitComet, and this would let me finally finish the setup as proper media server with all the functions I need.

No, it’s never been implemented. The feature was suggested years ago, but has never been followed up on, sorry. utorrent has this, though.

uTorrent freezes the computer up though… too bad this was not implemented.

It doesn’t hurt to ask again in the suggestions forum. Maybe if there are enough “me, too”'s it will happen
